You can learn a lot watching Jeopardy!

Whilst watching the 12 Nov 2021 episode on 18 Nov 2021 (via DVR) I heard the champion, Andrew He, say there are two programmers with his name. He's not the Andrew He who is the champion competitive programmer; he's the Andrew He who's met Ken Jennings.

Question: Can Competitive Programming be considered a form of eSports?

While the competitive programming articles classifies competitive programming as a mind sport it's not a stretch to say the same about esports. (See the Esports Navbox below.)

Competitive programming certainly is not a part of gaming culture, or is it?

I've just added two categories to Category:Programming contests, I just made Programming contests a sub-category of:
